It's sad to see that fbsdboot.exe will effectively become unusable after VM86 becomes a mandatory option. Am I correct in that assumption ?? I was trying to use it from DOS7 (Win95 DOS) after Win95 had restarted into DOS to run my 'DOS' program. Maybe it still works for the case where the user chooses 'command line only' from the Win95 boot menu or boots a DOS7 floppy but I haven't tried these yet.
